My personal favorite mattress jousting video is this one, with an entirely different take on mattress jousting where the jousters slide the mattresses on the slick floor of the dorm hallway and spectacularly collide with each other, getting massive air in the process. The best part is that they are wearing what looks like some kind of helmet, which turns out to be necessary.

What kind of mattress works best for mattress jousting? Looks like a small and lightweight mattress that is easy to carry, but with enough cushioning that you don’t end up with a brain injury when you collide with your fellow jouster.
